Our LGBTQ+ flag has been waving proudly outside the building throughout all of June in solidarity and support for LGBTQ+ history month, but raising awareness doesn’t have to end there.
We are so proud to have teamed up with Stonewall Cymru and (London) Welsh illustrator Niki Pilkington to show we will always support the LGBTQ+ community.

Niki has revamped our logo with the energy and power of the pride rainbow. Niki Pilkington is a brilliant Welsh illustrator from Morfa Nefyn who produces playful yet highly detailed *extra neon*, trend inspired, fashion portraits & lifestyle art, which echo her support for empowerment. We feel so lucky to have such a phenomenal Welsh talent create this beacon of inclusivity. We hope that this colourful logo will show our commitment to standing by our community. Diolch Niki.
